Welcome to another exciting episode with your trusted hosts, Isyander and Koda! In this jam-packed installment, we're diving deep into the expansive universe of Dune, guiding you through the intricate tapestry of Frank Herbert's seminal masterpiece and the prequel and sequel novels penned by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.From the genesis of the Machine Crusade in 'The Butlerian Jihad' (2002) to the turning point 'The Battle of Corrin' (2004), we take a look at how humanity won its freedom from thinking machines. We unravel the origins of some of Dune's most powerful institutions, exploring the formation of the Bene Gesserit in 'Sisterhood of Dune' (2011), the rise of the Mentats in 'Mentats of Dune' (2014), and the creation of the Navigators in 'Navigators of Dune' (2016).Then we journey back to the famed noble houses in the House Trilogy: 'House Atreides' (1999), 'House Harkonnen' (2000), and 'House Corrino' (2001). We retrace the steps of Duke Leto Atreides and his rise to power in 'The Duke of Caladan' (2020) and the subsequent books 'The Lady of Caladan' (2021) and 'The Heir of Caladan' (2022).Finally, we arrive at the book that started it all, the legendary 'Dune' (1965), before transitioning into 'Paul of Dune' (2008), where we discuss how Paul Atreides dealt with his newfound power after his triumphant uprising.As if our Dune extravaganza wasn't enough, we're taking a quirky detour to lighten the mood. Get ready for some tongue-in-cheek fun as we challenge ourselves (and you, our dear listeners) with the mind-boggling length of Prince Philip's full title! With so many grand and majestic words, it's a title that would give even the longest of Dune's Bene Gesserit honorifics a run for their money. Then, we move on to yet another figure renowned for his extended list of titles – Idi Amin. The self-proclaimed 'Uncrowned King of Scotland' had a title so long it’s dizzying! We promise you'll be equal parts amused and astounded, as we bring some lighthearted laughter to the mix of our fascinating Dune discussion. Don't miss out on this entertaining aside!From the desert sands of Arrakis to the political maneuverings of the Great Houses, join us as we journey through the epic saga that is Dune. Whether you're a seasoned traveller of the sand dunes or a newcomer to the galaxy, we promise there's something for everyone in this episode. Stay tuned!
